Random Musings of a Human Becoming

Monday, June 8, 2009

I've been sick a lot and busy a lot over the last few weeks, and haven't had much time or energy for blogging, but I'm fine now :)

Life is normal: school varies between great and difficult, MD and I are fine, housemate and I are fine, Jemima is fine, money is tight but manageable, and the holidays are creeping ever closer! There's babies everywhere, moreso since my cousin had her son at 3:30am today - the first great-grandchild for my grandparents. I'm coping with it. I've gone a bit baby-name nuts recently, and what-I-want-at-my-wedding nuts, but I'm coping.

What is a Human Becoming?

Our language and culture tends to deal in absolutes. He is a student. She is a teacher. People are, or are not. We have more trouble with processes, gradual slides from one thing to another. And this is strange, because most people spend most of their lives in the process of changing, not as the static "things" their labels would suggest.

I am not a human who is being one particular thing or another. I am hundreds of processes. I am a human becoming. What am I becoming? Who knows! We might just find out together.
